Ted Turner: I Think It’s “Good” U.S. Troops are Killing Themselves

(Paul Joseph Watson) During an appearance on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight, Ted Turner said he thinks it’s “good” that U.S. soldiers are killing themselves because it shows humanity has evolved a distaste for war.

Asked what he thought about the fact that more American soldiers commit suicide than are killed in combat, host Morgan said it was “shocking,” but Turner responded, “No, I think it’s good.”

Turner went on to argue that it was time for people to start acting “enlightened” and that this was why it was “good” U.S. soldiers are committing suicide in such large numbers because it shows an aversion to war.

At first, Turner smirked and appeared as if he was about to say it’s “terrific” that U.S. soldiers are killing themselves, before using the word “good” instead and adopting a sterner facial expression.

As the New York Times reported earlier this year, U.S. soldiers are killing themselves at a rate of nearly one per day and the figure continues to rise. Reasons for the suicides include the stress caused by such a high number of deployments as well as the horrors troops have witnessed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

A recent poll of soldiers who had tried to commit suicide found that the top reason for them attempting to take their own life was “intense emotional distress.”

Turner was also asked by the host who he thought should replace the United States as the world’s policeman, to which he responded, “the United Nations.”

Some have argued that Turner is expressing his satisfaction at U.S. troops killing themselves because it indicates that humanity is starting to spiritually evolve a distaste for war.

However, Turner has repeatedly voiced his wish to see billions of people wiped off the planet via population reduction programs.

Ted Turner’s satisfaction at U.S. troops committing suicide takes on a different context when you understand that Turner is a neo-eugenicist who routinely advocates massive population reduction.

“A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal,” Turner stated in 1996.

While asserting that the rest of the world should impose China’s brutal one-child policy to ‘save the planet’, Turner himself has 5 children and owns no less than 2 million acres of land. He is the largest private landowner on the planet, falling short of only the royal families of Europe.

Turner’s call for the United Nations to become a dictatorial body under the banner of global peacekeeping is suspect given that the UN itself admitted responsibility for failing to act during the 1994 Rwanda genocide during which 800,000 people were killed.

Alber–needs a swift kick. a million dead Iraqies, over 350,000 Lybians and countless innocent Afghastinians and another million plus in Africia–do American troops giveash!t? No! Truner needs to have said–the lying greedy politicians–included–
Most American military are in the forces for the thrill to kill. Only thing that bothered them is when their own were seen to have been killed–guts splittered. Americans are evil–most treat killing Muslims as sport. Cheers to Ted

I get what he means, but he should have said:
"While it is tragic that our soldiers have been so hurt by the immorality and sickness of war that they decide the only way to escape the guilt and pain they feel for being a part of this war is to kill themselves. But by killing themselves they prove they do have a soul, and that they, themselves, are not immoral."

I seriously think that global population reduction would solve many major global problems. However, all we need to do is reduce the world’s population by one percent only – the one percent represented by soul-less psychopaths like Ted Turner.
Just as he thinks it is “fantastic” that American soldiers, for the profitable wars of the ‘Satanic Elite’, are committing suicide (on the domestic front) at a rate of one human brother or sister every single day, so it would be equally “good” for people like Ted and his friends to help “the depopulation cause” by killing themselves and videotaping these events just to assure the rest of us that they are all truly dead and gone into the abyss of their karmic inheritance.
